Coarse is intrusive: the magma cooled slowly when it was formed causing big crystals...

Fine is extrusive: the magma cooled quickly when it was formed causing small crystals!!

How are rocks with grains classified?

They are eather fine grain or course grain. Granite are course Grain, Basalts are fine grains.


Do lava rocks usually have large grains?

Lava rocks typically have fine to medium-sized grains due to their rapid cooling process when formed from molten lava. Large grains are less common in lava rocks than in other types of igneous rocks that cool more slowly beneath the Earth's surface.


Rocks that have large grains you can easily see are described as fine grained true or false?

False. Rocks with large grains that are easily seen are described as coarse-grained, not fine-grained. Fine-grained rocks have smaller grains that are not easily visible to the naked eye.


Are grains in fine grained rocks easy to see?

No, grains in fine-grained rocks are too small to be easily seen with the naked eye. These rocks have a smooth texture due to the small size of the mineral grains, which are typically less than 0.1 millimeter in size. They often feel smooth to the touch and may appear uniform in color.


Describe the textural difference between coarse-grained phaneritic and fine-grained aphaneritic rocks?

Coarse-grained phaneritic rocks have mineral grains that are large enough to be seen with the naked eye, giving them a rough texture. Fine-grained aphaneritic rocks have much smaller mineral grains that are not individually visible, resulting in a smooth or fine texture.


What is the difference between granitic igneous rocks and basaltic igneous rocks?

Basalt is an igneous rock with very fine grains. It is dark colored. Granite is a variety of colors: gray, pink, and white. It has coarse grains.


Small grained rocks have what texture?

Fine grained rocks are considered aphanitic.


How are rocks and grains different?

Rocks are composed of one or more minerals, while grains are small, individual particles of a mineral. Rocks can be made up of different types of minerals and have a variety of sizes and shapes, while grains are typically uniform in composition and size. Rocks are larger and can be made up of multiple grains, whereas grains are individual, tiny fragments.


Are large grains easily seen as fine grained?

Large grains are easier to see than fine grains.


What are tiny rocks as small as grains of salt called?

What is the grain size of quartz?

Quartz typically has a fine to medium grain size, with individual grains ranging from a few millimeters to a few centimeters in size. However, quartz can also occur as very fine grains in some sedimentary rocks.
